feeling like a gimp now!!spent two days on this followed the instructions in the wiki..everything seems to go OK but when I try to connect the Wiimote.. all that happens is I get a message on the core/hybrid asking what type of phone it is (the dongle is on a MD in another room)any clues where to start?cheersGazzzman

hi William!thanks for the reply I had the dongle plugged into the MD I want to control..and ran the scripts on the MD (via ssh)but when I pressed the red button all that happend was the add mobile phone screen came up on the core.hybrid very weird! the MD seemed to ignore it completely!any thoughts?cheersGazzzman

1. I have hooked up my Wii Remote (played with xset m <a> <p>), but can't get it to work smoothly. It either does not move at all, or, whenever I find the spot in a room, it is moving, but very unstable - cursor jumps back to left when I move it to the right, disappears, etc..

The remote itself is fully working + new batteries and all.

I use USB dongle which is not USB 2.0, but USB 1.2 - could that be a problem?

2. Less important, but also curios - where the heck is PAUSE button on Wii Remote (using wiki's button mapping) while watching videos?

1. You need the sensor bar, trust us. the ir_ptr is the most accurate option. the accelerometers only measure relative direction, and require a fair amount of velocity to work, it is not a gyroscope.

2. the candles provide the necessary infrared heat/light source that the IR camera in the Wii Remote locks on to. It needs two sources so that it can perform triangulation on distance, and thereby determine the bounds of the screen.

3. It is currently not mapped. one of the things that needs to be worked out by adventurous hackers like yourself, and us.
